This means the server can't read the file. Most likely the permissions
you have on it don't allow other users to read it, and the server probably
runs as a different user than you. You can either make the file world
readable, or use the --local option to have the client send the file to the
server over the connection.
I'm assuming the server is on the same machine; if it's not, only the
--local approach will work.
